Proud To BeThe Most Livable

Forget everything you think you know about Pittsburgh (we haven't had steel factories here since the '70s). Today, the city is breathtaking and also the envy of metro areas twice our size.

Pittsburgh as a center for activity and entertainment may be one of the best-kept secrets around. With its museums and galleries, local charm, and champion sports teams, Pittsburgh has things to do for any audience, tourists and residents included. Explore much of what Pittsburgh has to offer at Visit Pittsburgh.

The city’s working-class roots also make a great place to enjoy some more laid-back activities. If you’re planning to stay in Pittsburgh for more than a day, you’ll need to become a fan of our six-time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins, and home-town favorites, the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The city’s rugged terrain and natural beauty practically beg everyone who lives for outdoor adventure to hike, run and bike its trails; ski its nearby slopes; kayak or float down its rivers; and tackle a few of the city’s 712 public stairways for a little vertical work out.

You could take a trip to Kennywood Park where historical roller coasters sit side by side with state-of-the-art thrill rides. If the weather is warm, Sandcastle Waterpark is another Pittsburgh favorite for thrills or relaxing. No matter how you spend the day, a great way to end it is to kick back over an authentic German meal at Penn Brewery or Hofbrauhaus.
